The Rebels

Various bands of rebels operate in the underground against the Hand. Disorganized but determined, these groups are typically led by veterans of the Great War and are made up of a mixture of old soldiers and young, hot-headed commoners hungry for their freedom. Restrictions on travel between cities, the constant presence of Hundkin enforcers, and their own general lack of organization have so far prevented these rebel groups from operating in any sort of concerted fashion; most of their strikes are local in nature and consist of opportunistic hit-and-run tactics against their more numerous and well-armed opponents. While these attacks often result in brutal retribution against the people, the rebels still consider themselves heroes, and many commoners see in them the only glimmer of hope for the future.
